Season 41 · Christmas Concert
Heartfelt Hallelujah
Celebrate the season with a joyful holiday concert filled with beloved traditions, glorious choral music, and a few surprises along the way.
The Tower Chorale brings together the timeless and the contemporary—from Eric Whitacre’s luminous Alleluia and selections from Handel’s Messiah, including the magnificent Hallelujah Chorus, to Elgar’s evocative The Snow and Elaine Hagenberg’s moving O Love.
The celebration continues with O Holy Night, featuring returning Tower Chorale alumni, a lively audience sing-along of holiday favorites, and festive selections including The Twelve Days of Christmas and Rudolphus Rubrinasus.
Join us for an afternoon of beautiful music, familiar carols, and the shared joy of singing together at Christmastime.
